Not screen off.... but sleep. Two different things. You need to turn the screen off for the phone to sleep, but just because the screen is off it doesn't mean the phone is sleeping. Easy test is whether you can turn the screen back on by pressing the camera button.

But yeah, are you using a stereo bluetooth headset, or a normal headset? This does affect what profile you're using (A2DP / HP). It could be a general stability bug. Either way, thus far I haven't been able to consistently reproduce it to figure out what's breaking it.

I'm also on Nightly 11, are you on that? Or the Wimax RC0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
I can't. logcat says the commands time out. I'm doing this via car, not headset, though. If I disable phone profile, it works fine. Screen on or off, doesn't matter. I'm also on the RC0 w/ Wimax.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
Bluetooth stereo headset, nightly 11, stock kernel.

I do get the camera wake... but I always have.. how can I find out which app is disabling deep sleep?

Probably the reason I'm getting mediocre battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
Yeah, that's killing your battery life. And probably why you're not seeing the bug.

You didn't change the CPU governor in CyanogenMod settings did you? I noticed the other day the phone wouldn't sleep if I set it to "interactiveX". Keep it at "ondemand".

And make sure you're using the stock kernel :-)

Edit: This was a fluke, I just changed it to Smartass and the phone deep sleeped just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
I use ondemand and smartassv2. And yea I'm the on stock kernel.

How can I check if my phones going to sleep? And if an app is keeping it awake, how do I locate which one it is?
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
SpareParts has a Battery History option that shows partial wake usage. I get the camera button wake as well but it doesn't really show anything as using partial wake.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
Just to confirm... I am experiencing not being able to listen to media via bluetooth headset once th phone sleeps. Very annoying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
I posted a trick for finding what keeps your phone awake yesterday. Search 'CPU Spy' or my user name.

p.s. this is not a nod to those that flame users for not finding the information they need before posting a question. this thread is about cm7 on the epic, nothing more.

Ok, downloaded cpu spy and I had barely any time in deep sleep.. so I had a hunch and deleted setcpu and just used the cm7 settings and now my phone is deep sleeping.. camera wake is gone after a couple seconds. Hopefully my battery life improves!

Thanks for helping me arrive at this conclusion.

This worked for me as well, however, the camera button will turn the screen back on once it is plugged in.

I eventually got rid of set CPU and I now use Tasker to turn down processor to 100-400 screen off, 600-1000 on phone call and 100-1000 normal screen on
[Epic 4G Android Development] punzada:
Let me know how that's working out for your battery life. Since my flash (10 nightly) my phone is definitely deep sleeping properly, I'm still not getting the greatest battery life though (around 8% per hour depending on usage and haven't been all that heavy at all today, standard clocks, brightness turned all the way down in settings, governor set to conservative). Trying to optimize it as best I can. I've been spoiled by some of the froyo roms like Thunderhawk sipping only 1-2% an hour, I can deal with the battery drain for CM7 goodness though (hello Epic Touch battery here I come, I would get one of the massive 3200 or whatever ones but the backplate problems would annoy me).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Quicksand Jesus:
What in the world are you talking about?? It's still broke dude, and I don't even see it in the list of problems. Broken video recording that is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Plugged in to a charger? If so, the explanation is this: the camera button will wake the phone when it is not in deep sleep. Deep sleep does not occur when pluugged into a charger. So the phone will always wake at the press of the camera button on charger.

Has anybody heard anything about the in-call audio volume? I have to manually adjust every time I get a call so I don't blow out my ear drums... It will go to whatever the setting was set to once I touch the volume, but it starts at max and I can't adjust it while it's against my ear. This is my only issue with this ROM now, and it has been there since I first flashed cm months ago.

BEER!
[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
I'm guessing that's a Samsung driver issue, because I have the same problem regardless of what ROM I'm on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
Deep sleep is NOT a CPU frequency.

There is a separate code path that actually disables IRQs and GPIOs (in addition to lowering the CPU frequency). This is deep sleep.

This is why your keyboard / camera button doesn't work. The GPIOs for it are disabled.

The code path is triggered in the assembly code cpu_idle S file. It generally occurs when the processor has extensive time in cpu_idle.

The phone should actually go into deep sleep when charging. However, I wouldn't consider it a huge bug if it didn't.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SirLeto:
Yes, I installed the amazon appstore today just fine.

I was having problems installing it yesterday though. If I had not enabled that option, there wouldn't be an option to install, it'd just warn me that sideloading's not enabled.

i honestly dont think that is the problem. my camera button wakes my phone up to 3 seconds after i lock it. this has been an issue since i flashed cm7 originally. im on nightly 10 as well. i dont have any new or different apps then when i did before cm7 and on the contrary, ive gotten 1 day and 48 minutes worth of battery on an average day. its just annoying that i slide my phone in my pocket and all of a sudden it wakes it.

It's very likely your phone isn't outputting the proper percentages. Shut your phone down remove your battery for five minutes or so, put your battery back in and plug it into your charger until that battery pops up and then hold down power to boot from that point with your cable plugged in.

I finally made the plunge last night and am working on calibrating my battery. Applied nightly 10 and I am quite impressed. Really likingbthis CM7 on our epic 4g's. Only question I have is about voicemail an what my options are. Is there only text notifications or switch to Google voice? Can I make VVM work?

TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeEx:
You can either use google voice and set your phone to do "conditional call forwarding" (best option since full integration takes over your sprint account). or you need a backup of sprint voicemail from a touchwiz rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Google Voice should work without issues. As mentioned earlier in the thread, VVM needs to be backed up using Titanium Backup under a TW rom and then restored in CM7.

Edit: beat by MikeEx :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] n2mschf:
If you backed up your vvm with titanium or the like, just restore and you should be good. The text message we are referring to is the notification from 9016 informing us we have a voicemail. Just before/after we are notified that we have a vvm.

You must be playing video with a codec that is not supported. I am playing a 720p h.264 video with no stutters whatsoever, and MX Video Player is using hardware acceleration.

I also have the ARMv7 codec installed, not sure if that really makes a difference.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fatal99:
Thanks for all of the responses. I'm crazy to not flash ROMs with TB, sounds like that was a mistake. I tried calling a number that came with the 9016 text and its busy every time.

As far as the Google voice thing I will have to look into the conditional forwarding, burning don't want Google taking over my cell number.

Again thx for the advice, would be awesome if someone could post a backed up APK for vvm. ;-)

Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but does anyone know if the devs will include the volume hack that was used in other gb roms? Cause dsp only gives you equalizer settings but it does not raise the volume of the phone to hear music or movies loud and clear like on the other. Gb roms

Okay everyone says how great this from is with battery... .... I don't see where when I do a fresh install I go 5% down each minute anyone can help me or tell me why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
First and foremost, Thank You Devs!!!!! You guys are ****ing amazing! I'm eligible for upgrades on two lines but I see no need now that we have a near perfect CM7.

I've been around a few years mostly lurking but helping with questions when I can. I'm sure its hard to stay motivated as a dev in this community. I for one try to be as grateful as I can and let me tell you, no words can describe just how grateful I am, the devs(past and present) have made my device more awesome than I could ever imagine!

Ok, now lemme get off your nuts...

I'm still on RC0, just haven't had much time lately to be a flash-a-holic like I wish I could be. I've installed CM7 on 5 different epics so far without a hitch. Rock solid!!!

I live in Lansing, MI with no 4G but the 2 phones I've put it on say it works great, I just gotta get them on the newest nightly so they have a toggle.

I'm running the orange octane theme from the market and it looks sick as hell matched with the orange adw theme. On my touchpad I'm using the honeycomb theme. With so many CM7 theme choices I won't be getting bored of the same old look and the best part is my wife can install her own themes now since there's no need to do it from recovery.

The only minor issues I have, and I emphasize the word minor:

Volume rocker while on a call is wonky

There's a lot of background noise, like my mic is supersonic and picks up everything!

Miss the smiley key on the keyboard

Notification LED light isn't working properly

Really that's it and I don't even care if that small list of issues is ever fixed. There's sooooo many positives with this rom that far outweigh the negatives like the battery life that keeps going.. and going.. and going.. Please note I'm not reporting bugs or asking for changes just leaving my feedback.

Sorry for the wall of text but I'm just really excited about Cyanogenmod on my epic. :-)

[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
Try this: menu soft key> cyanogenmod settings> performance> CPU settings> governor set it to conservative. If you really wanna save your battery, also set your max CPU frequency to 800 mhz, then turn your auto brightness off, set it at minimum, and set your screen timeout to 30 sec. That should make a huge difference... As far as brightness: when you want to change it, just slide your finger across the notification bar from left to right

Edit: it must be stated that I've never seen a stock battery on any ROM provide more than 4-5 hours screen on time. Ever.

BEER!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
Like stated previously in the thread you should try the following to improve battery:

Calibrate your battery

Lower your brightness

Try the conservative setting for the governor on your kernel

Set your facebook, widgets, syncing updates and other apps to 4 hours or never

Get CPU Spy and Better Battery Stats to see what's draining it

Those are just off the top of my head. ;-)

Having Wifi issues with stable and all Nightly Builds so far

Everything is working great for me (up to night build 11 so far), expect for one thing: WIFI. I actually need WIFI, as there is no cellular signal most of the day where I am.

Anyway, I am just curious if anybody else is having issues with their Wifi. It comes on when I turn it on, however, many times it either turns off randomly or won't turn on at on, saying my WIFI network is out of range. I can stand right next to my router and it still says that. Anybody getting this?

So does anybody know if this is being worked on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
Wifi works good, try settings> wireless and networks> wifi settings> menu soft key> advanced> sleep policy: set to never. Then open up your file browser and go to /system/etc/wifi/ and delete or wipe the file "wifi_supplicant.Conf". That should help a little :)

Anyone else having boot loop issues? I am on stock kernal and pretty much cyn 7 as it came with google apps installed. I was on nightly 10 then flashed nightly 11 which started my boot loop issues. Long story short, I reverted all the way back to froyo, rerooted, updated, then reflashed cyn 7. Got the phone working again. Flashed to get back to nightly 10 and now get boot loops on nightly 10! Any ideas what Im doing wrong?

NVM - I for some reason thought I needed to mount system in clockwork which is what i think was my problem. I flashed nightly 10 again this time without mounting the system and worked fine. As an added bonus, Clockwork installed 12 for me! Sweet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] punzada:
I'm in the same boat, I only started with nightly 10 so I don't know if it was a regression since then or what-not. On nightly 12 now and still - MX Player with armv7 codecs installed does not give the option for hardware decoding only 'fast' software decoding. Also mVideoPlayer does not play h264 mkv (says file type not supported). It appears as it does not have the proper native codecs. I get that the h264 codec is proprietary and therefore may not be included in a clean ASOP build, I Just wouldn't know the process on how to integrate them after the fact (hoping someone smarter then myself could help with that)

Edit: Nevermind apparently. Apparently some of my test samples got corrupted. One of my 1080p files still won't play but my normal 720p mkv samples are playing in both pieces of software. No more little sleep and heavy modding for punzada.

Edit 2: Although the 720p video plays smoothly now, I'm getting no sound at all from them. Something going on for sure.
